The Labour Party did this. That's why trans people are pushing back on Dems capitulating on trans issues. We have seen what happens when the liberal party abandons trans people after saying you must vote for them or it without be worse under a conservative government.

Wonder if the real impetus for changing the law is going to come from companies like this/their insurers when they start getting hit with the subsequent claims for discrimination.

More importantly still, part of what makes TV a distinctive art form, and not just a longer running form of cinema or a more portable version of theatre, are the expediencies that come from having to get it out in time.

it would shock the average person how many anti-trans activists had a partner or child who came out as trans and, rather than being supportive, they obsessively worked to "purge" transness from their lives (as well as society)...

I think one thing you really notice in right leaning Westminster circles is how off their perception of what the median person thinks about Gaza/Israel is.

Reform mired in scandal. A Labour government that literally cannot do the most basic bits of “are you a state?” i.e. arrest people who blockade infrastructure and intimidate the free press. Literally everyone in politics is optimising towards a Conservative victory other than Kemi Badenoch.

I’m over halfway though Adults S2, and I still cannot stand Samir as a character The actor portrays him really well, but the helplessness is truly grating. Even Rachel in Friends, Lily in HIMYM, or Nick in New Girl weren’t this insufferably helpless (or at least wanted to be better)

The progression of certain thinkers from denying the validity of trans people to denying the validity of disabilities is a nice illustration of the way in which transphobic habits of mind can quickly evolve into a kind of acquired sociopathy.

At the individual level yes, you could probably bring your relative or friend with strange beliefs back with enough work/time/luck, but you can’t scale that out to a campaign.

I’m sure he’ll grow on me, but Samir in Adults is super annoying. I’m sure he’s relatable and there’s a charm, but I cannot stand the weaponised incompetence trope.

I hate to even quote the guy, but Bannon’s whole “politics is culture, and culture is politics” is unfortunately true Us on the left have to be better at integrating with culture like the right do. I know I’m not the messenger (nerdy, out of shape, Asian guy who works in tech) but some of us are.

It's craven, it's politically stupid, and it's morally wrong. Number 10 does not struggle to get Andy Burnham in front of a camera when it wants him to be there. Every minute he's not on show over this is the result of a deliberate decision.

A large group of co-ordinated, masked men blockading a piece of significant infrastructure is a security threat and should be dealt with as one. There should also be serious questions about why police/intelligence services didn't pick up on it in advance.

The fact that the police haven’t immediately and forcefully arrested all of these guys tells you everything about whose interests they serve and what politics they protect. This is the real two tier policing.

I simply do not understand what's going on in Labour that renders its leaders incapable of finding a TV camera and speaking out against street violence. Even if you assume they agree about immigration, violence is wrong, unpopular AND against the interests of any even vaguely left wing govt.

Reform's boomer activists are in many ways the epitome of consumerist alienation. They are sad, lonely, embittered people who stay at home all day watching TV and whose children and grandchildren don't want to visit them anymore.

With all respect to the BBC, the reason this story "matters" is not about whether it distracts from Reform's conference. It "matters" because it is important our leaders are not conspiring to break the law.
